This week, Becky is flying solo to talk about something so many moms feel but rarely say out loud — somewhere along the way, the magic of the holidays stopped belonging to us. We became the makers of the magic instead of the ones who get to feel it.

But what if this year could be different?

It's time to reclaim the wonder, the joy, and the childlike excitement you used to feel when the lights went up, the cookies baked, and the whole world felt softer and sparkly. 

Inside, we explore:

• Letting go of the pressure to make every tradition perfect

• Reframing the “have to” list into a “want to savor” list

• Creating magic that fits this season of life, not past ones

• How choosing joy (even in tiny ways) shifts your whole home

• The power of slowing down and letting yourself be present

• Simple ways to reconnect with your inner child and feel wonder again

• Why you deserve the magic just as much as your kids do

This episode is your gentle reminder that the most magical time of year isn’t just for them, it’s for you too. You’re allowed to savor the moment, laugh big, let things be imperfect, and choose joy every single day.

We'd love to hear from you! Reach out to us.
